I'm from the beautiful city of Pittsburgh, PA in the USA, I studied Economics and Italian and the University of Virginia, and after graduating I moved to Italy to teach English for a while, and that's why I'm here! Like the rest of you, I love traveling, and beyond that I'm very interested in music, films, and sports.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a great way to see new places while meeting new people learning more about their lives/cultures.

Interests

I really enjoy the outdoors, and I'm an avid fan of music, film, television, and sports. I also always enjoy learning new languages (or at least trying to).
